Xweather Live is an ad-free vector weather map built to showcase our weather APIs. It's a fun app with lots of data layers and features. Feedback welcome!

Very cool site! Would you know of any similar maps that explore climate zones or micro climates?

Thanks. There are quite a few cool projects out there. Someone just shared a link to a collection of free weather maps: https://fmhy.pages.dev/misc#climate-weather

In the future we will also be merging another project into this app which is a collection of data from personal weather stations across the country. That data is really cool because it can fill in coverage gap. https://www.pwsweather.com/map/?ob=temps

I have four stations uploading there - looking forward to see the result!

Can someone explain how wind can spiral in to a point? Where does the air "go"? Or does this create a higher pressure?

If it’s showing surface winds, it goes up. On windy.com there’s an altitude slider that lets you choose which wind level you’re looking at. Haven’t found that yet here.
